Earth: An Introduction to Physical Geology, 13th Edition is the leading textbook on the study of Earth’s materials and the processes that shape its surface and interior. Authors Edward Tarbuck and Dennis Tasa have a direct, friendly writing style paired with excellent illustrations and a step-by-step learning path. After taking this course, you’ll be able to read landscapes as records of physical geology processes and interpret Earth’s history from the rock record.

Material covers the full scope of physical geology: minerals and rocks, plate tectonics, volcanoes and igneous activity, earthquakes and Earth’s interior, mountain building, weathering, soil, and mass wasting, rivers and groundwater, glaciers, deserts, shorelines, and geologic time. Learning objectives help you demonstrate your understanding at the end of each section. An emphasis on currency and relevance includes the latest thinking in the field.

The 13th Edition updates content, data, and references throughout. A new Geology in the News feature helps you connect material in the text to real events, and a new Data Analysis feature helps you develop critical-thinking skills.
